The Harvest Show
NO HARVEST SHOW IS EVER QUITE THE SAME - except for the receipts. At £186 these were £10 less than last year (where were the JAMS this year?), a donation from which will be made to Farm Africa.
One of the highlights of the Show this year was the winning red wine which was made by Tina Jost from Swaffham Prior's very first vineyard since the Romans were here.
Thanks to everyone, especially Jenny Brand who organized the event. The Cream Teas received high praise this year for the superb jam and lovely large dollops of cream with the new style scones. Thank you June.
